Irish National League Of America.
Topeka, Kansas, 7rh April, 1887.

Brother Irishmen OF Kansas:
As never before the situation OF affairs in
Ireland appeals to all the children Of the sea-
divided-gael TO rally promptly and vigor-
ously To the aid of our kindred there who
are struggling for life and liberty with their
mel ciless foes.
In this climax of her great struggle. Ire
land, through the voice of her devoted lead
er, Charles Stewart Parnell, instinc;iveiy
turns 70 America, the Ararat upon whose
heights of freedom rests the ark OF the
worlds best hopes, calling fer that sympa-
thy and support which have never been
withheld from a people struggling for iiber-
ty. In responding to this cali, the lrishnsn
OF Topeka. ever true to their motherland in
the hour of need, have perfected arrange
ments for great state meeting
at the Grand Opera House ia this
city on Tuesday evening, April 18th
when the American people, through the
voices of their most prominent and represen-
tative men, viii give the lie 70 the foui SIAN
derers of the Ea glish press that they do not
sympathize with our loved land Ia her gal
liant and persistent struggle FOR her long-los5
iyhts and liberties. Kansas foremost states
man and greatest orator, Senator Ingalls,,
has promptly responded to the Invitation of
our committee, and VIII attend and address
the meeting. Hon. Thomas Ryan, Hon.
Capt. j. B. johnson, Rev. DR.. McCabe. Pres
iient Fitzgerald of the Irish National
League. Thomas B. Minahan Of Omaha,
Major General Caldwell, Mr.. John Madden,
and several other prominent citizens will be
among the speakers on the occasion.
Irishmen of Kansas, now is the time to
prove that we have meant what We said
when declaring that this struggle must cul-
inmate in victory, even though the embat-
tied tread OF the exiIed race shall be- heard
from round the world marching back to the
lovely soul stirring music of Home, Sweet
Home" Let Us hope that our country
men throughout this great and prosperous
state will join with us OF Topeka in making
this meet ting the occasion of the grandest
on pouring OF Irish National sentiment that
ever hurled back defiance to a tyrant
| appeal to you Irishmen of Kansas, by
ell the splendid memories of the past, by all
the brightest hopes of the future, to unite
upon one last determined effort to burst open
now and forever the doors Of free Irish par
lament. when Irelands own sons can there
represent the idess, feelings and aspirations
of their emancipated race, and recall by
their wisdom their patriotism. their oratory
aud their craftsmanship the genius that once
characterized their Old parliament house on
College Green, and thereby restore peace,
contentment and happiness to our prosecuted
but lovely land.
Yours, very faithfully.
DONATUS O'BRIEN,
l24-1t State Executive Delegate.

George Kruel and Martin Oswal
gave us call this morning
Lincoln's Fathers Arithmetic.

Mr.. William G. Greene, an early
friend of Mr.. Lincoln, relates that in
1886 he was going to Kentucky, and
sat the request of Abe Lincoln | car
ried letter to his father, who lived
in Coles county, Illinois, at the head
of the 'Ambraw' river. When l got
to the place the old mans house looked
SO small and humble that | felt en-
barrassed until he received me with
much heartiness, telling me what a
handy house he had and how con-
veniently it was arranged. 1t was
log house, and some of the logs stuck
out two or three feet from the wall at
the corners. He said that he could
dress his deer as he killed them, and
hang them on the projecting logs, and
could tie his horse to them. The old
man inquired how his son was getting
along. He said Abe was a good boy,
but he was afraid he would never
amount to much; he had taken a no.
ton to study law, and these men were
generally dedicated to do wrong.
Here now,' he said, i cannot read or
WIltc Il DfJ, Uub L CAN Dedt any DOOh-
keeper ever saw at making my ac-
counts so easy and simple that any
body can understand them, just by
taking my forefnger and rubbing out
that black mark. In the little cabin
where he was living, the joists were
about seven feet from the floor, and
were of course unfinished. The old
man had taken fire-coal and drawn
four black marks on the face of joist,
something like the four bars of music.
He then explained that he had been
tending mill for a man down the
river; and when he sold customer a
peck of meal he simply reached up and
drew his finger through the lower
line. For two pecks he rubbed hole
through two of the lines. for three
pecks three lines, and for a bushel four
lines were erased. He put a mark to
indicate the customer right over his
dues. The simplest thing in the
world said he, and added: If Abe
don't fool away all his time on books
he may make something yet. -

of Glen Haven, Wis. She was born at
that place and lived there until October
20, 1886, when she was married to
William E. Ryan, playmate of her
childhood, who for two years has been a
highly respected member of our COM
munity. The young couple came at
once to their new home in Dakota, fol-
lowed by the good wishes of host of
old friends and cordially welcomed by
new ones here. 1t is seldom that young
people begin life with brighter pros
poets. Mrs. Ryan was sick only two
weeks, and her illness was not consider
ed serious until day or two before her
death, when typhoid pneumonia appear
ed and baffied every effort, that medical
skill and loving hearts could suggest,
and her bright life went out almost with
the dying of the old year.
Short services were held at the house
on Sunday morning, after which the
casket containing the loved one, clad in
her beautiful bridal dress. was borne to
the depot, and her husband and mother
started on their sad journey to Wiscon-
sin to lay her to rest at her old home.
They were accompanied as far as
Mitchell by number of friends.

shock to the community, which extends

reach Mitchell in time to connect with
the train going north and she was OBJ
liged to come to Letcher by team, ar
irving here about three hours after
Ollie's death.
A sad incident connected with the
death of Mrs. Ryan was, the fact that
her father, Mr.. Barr, received the tele-
gram asking him to come, and started
before the one announcing her death
reached him. Consequently the re-
mains passed through Mitchell, while
he was there on his way to this place.
He took the next train back, arriving
there in time for the burial.
